Situated on the east side of the Norman campus, this historic facility is the largest sports arena in the state and, following its most recent expansion, ranks among the 15 largest college football stadiums in the nation.

Prohibited Items

Only those items needed for medical or family needs plus empty, clear personal-sized containers suitable for drinking water are permitted. All carried items and entrants are subject to search. Any unlawful items are subject to confiscation, and the person in possession of such items is subject to arrest.

Prohibited items must be returned to the owner's vehicle or discarded. Items left at the gate will be discarded.

Fans not bringing bags or other allowable items into the facility are strongly encouraged to utilize Express Lanes. Chair back seats are available for sale/rental at Sooner Seat Customer Service booths.

Enhanced Screening

Metal detectors are located at each gate. It is recommended that fans arrive sooner to allow extra time for stadium entry. Stadium gates open two hours prior to each game for the general public. Suites, clubs and loge box entrances open two-and-one-half hours prior to kickoff.

Fans need only to empty only cell phones, keys and metal objects larger than keys from their pockets before screening. Fans are NOT required to remove belts, shoes or other small items such as coins, jewelry and watches.

If metal is detected, a person will be required to go through a secondary screening with a wand so other fans can continue to move through the metal detector.

Medical lanes are marked around the stadium for fans who require alternate screening methods.

All permitted bags and those containing medical equipment will be searched at gates prior to entry.

All prohibited items must be returned to your vehicle or discarded prior to entry.
